Smith College

Smith College is set on a 147-acre campus in Northampton, Massachusetts, about two hours from Boston and three hours from New York City. Smith is one of the largest liberal arts schools for women in the country. On campus are Smith’s Museum of Art and Botanic Garden, the latter designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. Smith is part of the Five Colleges consortium, which includes Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, Hampshire College and the University of Massachusetts—Amherst. Smith is also part of the Seven Sisters colleges, a group of seven northeastern liberal arts schools that were originally for women. Commencement traditions include Ivy Day, during which seniors plant ivy on campus to represent the connection between Smith and its graduates, and Illumination Night, when the campus is lit with colored paper lanterns.
